II. TERMS AND CONDITIONS REGARDING THE PROVISION OF SERVICES.

1. Claims of Therapeutic Benefit

HealthiNation’s education videos sometime make claims of therapeutic benefit. A “claim of therapeutic benefit” is an assertion that an intervention such as a medication, surgical procedure or lifestyle change like exercise will help prevent, treat or modify a disease, or will promote or enhance well-being. Such claims of therapeutic benefit are only made when the physicians and other health professionals who are part of the HealthiNation editorial team have researched and verified such claims to be scientifically sound and accurate.?Our editorial process includes researching various credible and reliable sources to determine and document therapeutic claims. The research process entails gathering science-based evidence generated from reliable studies, preferable randomized controlled clinical trials, or cohort or case control studies. Such evidence may come from medical journals, or databases such as PubMed, the Cochrane Database or Up-to-Date. They may also derive from best practice guidelines published by clinical organizations, medical colleges and academies, or government agencies, such as AHRQ. ??We document sources used so that our viewers may confirm the original source for themselves. We attempt to reference the source in the video, such as when an organization like the American Cancer Society makes a screening recommendation, however this is not always possible. Nevertheless, every video text summary includes source material, and often a link to the original source.

If you do not agree with all the terms and conditions of this Submission Agreement at any time, including, without limitation, those times when we make changes, do not use, do not attempt to use, and immediately discontinue your use of, the User Content Submission Features, because if you do any of these things you are agreeing to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of this Submission Agreement, including, without limitation, any changes we have made.

IMPORTANT NOTE: You must meet the Age and Other Eligibility Requirements in Section 2 of this Submission Agreement and each and every time you submit or attempt to submit User Content, among other things, you will be asked to confirm your compliance.

1. Submitting User Content.

The term “User Content” means and refers to any and all content, media and materials you submit for posting on the Site using the User Content Submission Features, including, without limitation, still photographs, writings, spoken statements, music, audio, video, video recordings, audio-visual works and recordings, slides, portraits, animated and/or motion pictures, caricatures, likenesses, vocal or other sounds, sound recordings, voices, voice reproductions, computer graphics and visual effects, as well as any accompanying documentation, packaging or other materials, tangible or intangible, and to all derivative works, translations, adaptations or variations of same, regardless of the tangible medium, broadcast medium, format or form, now known or hereinafter developed or discovered, and regardless of where produced, on location, in a studio or elsewhere, in black-and-white or in color, alone or in conjunction with other work, characters, real or imaginary, in any part of the world.

Each time you upload or submit User Content (or if you attempt to do so) you will be confirming your acceptance of, and agreement to be bound by, all the terms and conditions of this Submission Agreement.
